About BOLLO

It started with a meat sauce.

In the spring of 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, friends Harald, Joel and Jason decided to write a book about one of the world's best everyday dishes – meat sauce. What began as a book project would eventually become BOLLO.

Spring 2020

It all starts with a book.

Harald, Joel and Jason decide to write an entire book about meat sauce. A fairly narrow subject, you might think. We thought the opposite. The hunt for the truly great meat sauce had begun.

Off to Bologna.

Next stop: Bologna – the mecca of ragù. Here the obsession with ragù alla bolognese deepens, and the idea of BOLLO starts to grow.

Next chapter: BOLLO Stories.

Alongside the book project we create BOLLO Stories – an organic wine made from the Sangiovese grape from Romagna DOC in Italy, 13,5 % vol. Sold at Systembolaget.
